Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) are a new government initiative to help increase children and young people's access to emotional wellbeing and mental health support. MHSTs are part of the national Children and Young People's Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) programme. MHSTs have three main functions:
To work in collaboration with education staff to develop and implement a Whole School Approach (WSA) to emotional wellbeing and mental health. This includes identifying priorities for WSA and supporting the delivery of these.
To offer support and guidance to schools, promoting joint working with other services to ensure that children and young people are able to receive the support that they need.
Your role within the service will support the direct delivery of the MHST service in schools as well as support junior staff to undertake their roles, part of this is to ensure we can support wellbeing practitioners to maintain registration, therefore, this role requires candidates to complete the CYP-IAPT Supervisor (low intensity) training or equivalent, applicants for this post need to be eligible for the course as an essential requirement please see KCL or UOS websites.

Kent and Medway Mental Health Support Teams | NELFT NHS Foundation Trust
Main duties of the job
As part of their role the post holders will be responsible for delivering interventions within schools and colleges and hold an individual caseload. The post-holder will ideally have clinical experience working with Children & Young People experiencing emotional wellbeing and mental health difficulties and be expected to deliver CBT interventions for anxiety, low mood, and behavioural problems individually and in groups.
Previous clinical experience will be considered alongside the expectations enlisted in the job description, and in support, we provide informal training and wider CPD opportunities as well as a robust supervision programme to support the development of low-intensity CBT skills, intervention adaptation and WSA delivery.
An additional part of this role includes supervisory responsibility of junior colleagues and if not previously completed, the service will support enrolment on a supervisor's course (at one of our affiliated universities). Supervisory training will enhance your skills to support EMHP and CWP junior colleagues to undertake their clinical roles and register with their professional bodies. Within your role, you will be offered additional supervision, which will support your professional development.
The post-holder will be a graduate-qualified health care professional (Qualification examples: Nurse, CWP, EMHP, Social Worker, IAPT CBT Therapist, or OT).
They will also need to register or apply to BABCP or BPS.
